Mom today: for the last couple of months, I've been searching for old photos of family enjoying summers at a place we went to each year. My mother and sister are compiling family stories and photos for a book that will be published by next summer. I found many pictures that I took as a girl, teen and adult, chronicling decades of summers spent at "Camp Togus" or "Camp Killoquah" in the Adirondack mountains of upper New York state.
My parents loved black labs - here is Cleo, who, along with other family dogs, got into all kinds of trouble in the wild woods up here!
The boathouse and dock: where we cast off for lovely paddles, where we fished from, from where we dove into those velvety black waters and emerged totally refreshed!
A paddle on Forked Lake.
Secret fishing places... So many beautiful places there - lost to us today, but wonderful memories will linger forever! Have a super Friday!

Gorgeous photos - I sure wish I was in one of those places rather than stuck here with all the slushy snow left over from this blizzard!

Ahhh! Those lakes look lovely for paddles, and swims, fishing and relaxing. We imagine the book will be a fantastic log of your amazing time spent in the area.
